Yeshá Taekwondo
Our Mission:
At Yeshá, our mission is to train and develop Disciples of Christ through sanctioned martial arts.
WE ARE FAMILY
Our Passion
Yeshá Taekwondo has been offering affordable Taekwondo to northeast Florida for nearly 40 years. We are also the largest non-profit, Olympic-sanctioned Taekwondo organization in Florida, and we have expanded to locations in South Carolina and Tennessee. We give our time and energy to those willing to learn, regardless of age (5+ yrs. old!) or financial ability. At Yeshá, you will never pay a monthly fee for any of our classes.
Become An Instructor
Have you ever thought of using your Taekwondo skills to advance His Kingdom?
Our volunteer Black Belt instructors are truly the backbone of Yeshá Taekwondo. From leading lessons at one of our many schools to evaluating students at our Demonstration Tests, our instructors are essential to our mission. Our ministry would not be possible without the time they give volunteering their skills.
We are constantly looking for new black belts dedicated to developing Disciples of Christ through the sanctioned art of Taekwondo. If you are interested in joining our team, please contact us at YeshaTaekwondo@gmail.com.

Balanced Training
In all of our schools, our skilled instructors aim to create well-balanced training in order to maximize our students personal and professional potential. To achieve this goal, we’ve established a balanced curriculum, focusing on the physical, mental, and spiritual development of our students.
Physical
Taekwondo is an intensive sport, instilling strength and resilience in all of our students. Learn exciting skills like kicking, sparring, and breaking boards! Yeshá holds weekly classes, quarterly seminars, demonstration tests, and more in order to advance our mission!
Mental
While the physical aspects may seem like the major training, the true challenge in learning the art of Taekwondo lies in mental challenges of this sport. When training, we must realize we are capable of more than we think we are.
Spiritual
Our training is ultimately focused on introducing our students to Jesus and strengthening disciples of Christ who make disciples themselves—through sanctioned Taekwondo. Our classes include prayer, scripture, and fellowship with other believers, while using the art of Taekwondo as a tool to advance His plan for our students.
